FCS grades: Raphael Kofler pays the price

Adamonis 6 He had to reach behind him twice, but essentially had no chance. He wasn't called upon much in the remainder of the game, so the two goals conceded were doubly bitter for the Lithuanian national keeper.

Kofler 5 Yesterday, the Rabland native paid a heavy price. He was involved in both goals conceded, although he was significantly less at fault for the first. He didn't always look confident in the tackles either. Palumbo duped him badly with a "tunnel" before the 0-2 goal. But: games like these are also part of the learning process for a young professional.

Pietrangeli 6 The best player in the FCS defense—because he didn't make any major mistakes. He also had a good chance with a header before halftime.

Masiello 5 What applies to Kofler also applies to the "oldie" in the FCS team: He was also involved in both of the goals conceded. He lost Pohjanpalo from man-marking for the 0-1 goal, and he seemed rather sluggish for Palermo's second goal, letting Palumbo outwit him. It's a shame, because otherwise the FCS defenders had the Sicilians' top attack well under control.

El Kaouakibi has become entrenched.

El Kaouakibi 6 He settled down on the right wing and "stole" space from Molina. He had a good opportunity – unfortunately, he couldn't capitalize.

Tait 5,5:XNUMX The captain had to make way after about an hour. Before that, an unremarkable performance from the Salurn native, who is still searching for top form.

Tronchin 6 He was somewhat surprisingly substituted for Jacopo Martini. Before that, he had put in an impeccable performance at number six and also made some good passes forward. His substitution didn't improve FCS's performance.

Mallamo 6,5 The most active player in the FCS jersey. He worked hard and ran, and also tried to use his technique to his advantage. But he's no Casiraghi, who was sorely missed. A free kick after the break went just wide.

Simone Davi 5,5 He had significantly more problems on the left than his right-back counterpart, El Kaouakibi. He was particularly insecure at the start of the game, but this improved somewhat as the game progressed.

The FCS starting eleven against Palermo.

Pecorino 5,5 Was replaced at halftime by Odogwu, who had just as little success as the Sicilian.

Merkai 6 The Albanian had FCS's best chance when he turned sharply in the penalty area and shot. Apart from this move, the striker was active, but without much impact.

Odogwu 5,5 He came on at halftime and had a chance right away, but he couldn't get a good grip on the ball, and then it was gone. He was inconspicuous afterward and no better than Pecorino. He lacked match practice.

Molina 5,5 He came on as an eight and actually fit in well. He moved to his usual wing position in the closing stages. He lost the ball before the 0-2 goal.

Martinis 5,5 He's not a playmaker, but that's exactly what FCS needed yesterday.

Italeng without note Made his debut in Serie B.

Brik without note Professional debut for the young Trentino native, who came to FCS from Arco at the age of 13.

Castori 6 Palermo struggled against their FCS opponents, but they didn't bring any points. It's no secret that the White and Reds struggle with the ball at their feet (and against a deep-lying opponent, as Palermo were hard to lure). Castori relies on other methods, but these don't always work. Nevertheless: Keep going; we're on the right track.
